Wechsler's model of intelligence

Wechsler's model of intelligence emphasizes that intelligence is not a single, fixed trait but comprises various abilities. It includes a broader definition of general intelligence, called "g," alongside specific skills like verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. In the context of general knowledge, this means that a person’s ability to understand and use information from their environment can be influenced by both their overall intellectual capacity and their specific knowledge in different areas. Thus, intelligence is multifaceted, incorporating both learned knowledge and inherent cognitive abilities.
